those little plastic things spinning over your 10s arent real spinners and no one gonna believe you.

and the little wrinkles on your "two toned" seats means that they arent really upholstered and you may have been jipped by the garage who "made" them for you

when u buy a box for you car from a major retailer then it aint "custom"

seattledave

Does cleaning out your car when you have lots of junk in it, to make your car go faster, count toward customizing?

Madzozs

While it may not be considered customizing, it is most likely more effective on launch and 1/4 mile times than some of the ebay addons.

Thats called weight reduction. Notice that cars that are modified specifically for the track are basically bare inside. You wont really get any significant weight loss unless you do a bit of work. Cleaning out your car wont cut it. You gotta get rid of the bigger, heavier stuff to see any noticeable results. Taking out your spare wheel is a start though. as well as everything else in your trunk. Basically you need to drop quite a bit of weight.
